In this talk, I explore a seldom-discussed facet
of airport security: what happens *after* the backscatter/millimeter wave scan
or the friendly pat-down? A marginally resourceful and MacGyver-esque
individual can breeze through terminal gift shops, restaurants, magazine stands
and duty-free shops to find everything they need to wage war on an airplane.

In this next installment of the Terminal Cornucopia series, I'll build and
test improvised weapons:

melee

projectile

incindiary

and beyond

All constructed entirely from items and materials
that can be purchased in airport terminals around the world.

About the Speaker:

Growing up, it was a safe bet that if an object
around the house was held together with screws or contained any number of wires,
Evan "treefort" Booth took it apart at some point to see what made it tick.

In 4th grade, with the help of strategically
placed pens, erasers, and a Pop-Tarts wrapper, Evan's pencil box could quickly
be converted into a model rocket launchpad. His Liquid Drano purchases to
toilets cleaned ratio is absolutely abysmal.

This never-ending supply of curiosity eventually
translated into a passion for understanding computers and programming. Having
earned a degree in Digital Media — a nerdy union of design fundamentals and
computer programming — from East Tennessee State University in Johnson City,
Evan founded his company, Recursive Squirrel, where he has served a wide variety
of clients in need of application development and consulting for nearly a
decade. When he isn't organizing 1's and 0's, Evan is likely off picking locks
with the FALE Association of Locksport Enthusiasts, a lock picking group he
co-founded in 2010. Make no mistake: the best part about buying a bulky item
is, in fact, the huge cardboard box.
